Miss Maxine to the Rainbow Bridge

[QuinnP]

Yesterday, I woke up to find my little black chicklet dead beside me. She was 2 weeks old. I heard Roo chirping & didn't hear Max, looked & she was dead under her pillow. I buried her behind our apartment. Maxie was an in-your-face type, noisy & bossy. I believe she knew how much she was loved tho. She liked to have her chest stroked & listen to her music box which played an Andrew Lloyd Webber tune. She was still shaped like an egg even after 2 weeks, while her sister Roo looks like a small hen.

If Maxie wanted something, she was not shy about letting the people know it with her piercing chirps. She enjoyed sitting on top of her Dad's head, looking down upon her chickdom. She was buried with a cupfull of chick food for use in the next life, wrapped in a little blanket. She will be thought of with love.

She brought joy to her people.

you know, I think Maxie really bullied Roo. Since she's been gone, Roo's personality has opened like a flower, she is far more affectionate, but wont stay in her box, always hops out & jumps into bedwith me. I'm so afraid of squishing her. I put a box in the bed too, but she likes sleeping in between my shoulder & neck. And me being a sissy cant stand her anguished cheeping when I put the side of her playpen up too high for her to get out. I feel like such a mean mommy. I couldnt discipline my daughter either. Once she pulled her diaper off, shredded it, ran down the hallway & pooped in the doorway (Aaren did) & all I did was laugh my head off & take a picture of her. She was 3.
